We've got clay in the material at the pit we're taking over. The current wash screen won't cut it as it's too small,we're going to upgrade to a bigger screen (5x15 that we found locally in good shape) but we're still concerned about product cleanliness. The plants around use material washer/screws at the end before stacking each washed/screened material to get everything washed to spec.
We've thought about pre-washing material before the screen but as we understand it a log washer is very expensive to own and operate. As we were talking about this and a trammel was brought up...that got me to wondering why no one is using trammels to agitate & pre-wash? Seems like it would be easy & low maintenance vs almost any alternative.
There may well be a reason...and I'd love to know...but often times people just keep doing what they're doing instead of thinking outside the box. Is this one of those cases?
